Preventive Dentistry
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings, a balanced diet, and proper oral hygiene practices are essential.
The most important ingredient to look for when choosing toothpaste is fluoride, which helps protect your teeth from decay.
Flossing removes plaque from between your teeth where a toothbrush can't reach, helping prevent gum disease and cavities.
• Brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes. • Limit sugary foods and drinks. • Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups.
General Dentistry
Most people should see their dentist twice a year, but those with specific dental concerns may need more frequent visits.
Dental x-rays are very safe and expose you to very low levels of radiation.
Use sensitivity toothpaste and avoid highly acidic foods. If sensitivity persists, consult your dentist for tailored advice.
Family Dentistry
Your child should see a pediatric dentist between 6-9 months or no later than their first birthday.
Preventive dental cleanings during pregnancy are safe and recommended to avoid complications.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Options include bonding, crowns, veneers, and re-contouring.
Consider whitening toothpastes or in-office bleaching after consulting with your dentist.
Emergencies
Locate the tooth and rinse it gently. Place it in milk or saliva and seek dental care immediately.
If unable to reach your dentist, visit the nearest urgent care or emergency room for assistance.
